We are as old as we feel. Despite when I was born I really do not feel old, nor do I act it...and at work I appear to be healthier than the young whippersnappers who want to go home when they have the slightest ache.

I was at my Yahoo 360 page a bit ago and reread a highlighted Post I had written in my Blog about Virtual Villagers.

I had to grin when read it. I did not know the game that well, and thought each game started with five villagers.

If anyone wants to read that post, or, horrors see what someone born in 1959 looks like, my addy is

[quote=TerriDean]I'm a fish tycoon player who happened to come here one day for advice. I asked about any other games I might enjoy and VV was suggested to me. I've been playing off & on for about a week and I must say that I am totally bored out of my mind. Am I too old for this game at 41? Is that what's wrong? [quote] I will be 50 this year and I love the age. Only thing I hate is when your on level one and they call a villiager 50 old

The idol and the ruins really didn't excite me. For all that work, I should have built the Taj Mahal! LOL. [quote] I wish it was the Taj Mahal; [quote] I agree;it would be more interesting.

Is anyone else bored?
[quote] What breaks the boredom for me is keeping a family tree; I even play matchmaker Right now I have a Hard Tribe. Because of moldy, spider bites and a balmy summer, my villages went from seven to two; a 10 year old girl and a man 22. As much as I hated doing it, I had to wait for Spice to grow up and at 18 mate her with 40 year old Dan. It was the only way the village would survive. Now, Dan has died, only after he and Spice had five GIRLS! It will be intesting to see how things turn out.

That would make India a rather large island :p

I also played Fish Tycoon first. However, my games there are all "paused" since I haven't played it in a while. One of my main wishes were either more tanks or larger tanks so that it would be easier to save fish I like or be able to find every species! (Each time I tried that, I would lose track somewhere on which I thoguht I found, and how many the software counted.)

I've been playing VV since last summer and have an original game still going plus several new games. Plus I have it running on different computers for more variety.

I agree Bajantara......1956 for me, about midway between the 2 of you. Never been less bored in all my life !!

age doesnt matter me is only 13 yrs old but ill ompleted all the puzzles how much more the adult

Good gods! You're old enough to be me mother! Hades, you're the same age as my mother! <eg>

I'll leave it to you to work out how old I am...<g>

P.S. I can think of a few more: 'prehistoric', 'antique', 'ancient', 'dinosaur'... <ducks and runs> I'll, er, get me coat...

P.P.S. For all those who are bored (like me! <g>) and you fancy supporting another independent developer, head on over to TellTale Games. Unfortunately, I've played all they have to offer but, if you remember the Sierra classics Leisure Suit Larry and Freddy Pharkas then check out Al Emmo. It's a true homage to the Sierra titles of the mid-'90s (and Al could be Larry's long lost cousin). No, I don't work for 'em, but their games have kept me amused this past month (I've now played all of them, though, unfortunately...Well, I'm waiting for the next installments of both Bone and Sam and Max) And it's peeing it down here, has been for almost the last fortnight solid. I'm missing my daily walks (got another 2½ stone to shift, y'see...). GRR!!

I see you're paying attention in your English lessons...<g> Good to see the American public school system is maintaining its high standards...<wg>

Hmm.. you're assuming he's American? I rather got the impression English is not his mother tongue

You think your old my mom was born in 1957 and she plays the game!
(mom whacks me over the head with a back scratcher)
